Loosing her husband 23 years ago, Alieh
raised her 5 children just on weaving. She had rented the design plate
from a neighbor.
Alieh:
“I’ll
never copy a design, the owner has rights.” .
“I
talk and cry to my rug when I have problems; then the flowers smile at
me. That’s because they are pure and saint.”

Expert hands of ‘Susan’ making knots. Can you
notice the knife in her hands? The knife is sharp and is used to cut
the strings. Her husband had a truck and they had a good life.
“I
love to weave, my rugs are my children. I make them look like brides.”
She said. “I make a wish with each knot. My rugs are my hopes. I go mad
when I finish one. I can’t live without a rug on my loom. Nobody is
able to live without hope.”

All the lines unite at a point in center in most
of Persian artworks. Persians believed the sun to be the center of the
universe far ahead of other nations. The Medallion in center of many
rugs also resembles the sun. |
| Boiled in a mixture of water and dying elements,
the wool absorbs color. The better dying, the more permanent becomes
the color. |
